Notes
Traditional Liberian music utilizes such typical West African elements as ululation, vocal repetition,call-and-response and polyrhythms. Traditional music is performed at weddings, namingceremonies, royal events and other special occasions, as well as ordinary children's songs, work songs and lullabies.
Christian music was introduced to Liberia by American missionaries, and Christian songs are now sung in native languages in a style that mixes American harmonies with West African rhythms and a call-and-response format.
Use Textbook from World Geography to represent education in Liberia. Use Snare Drum to represent music in Liberia. Use Native American dolls to represent military (possibility?).
